‘SUPER COVID’ RATES ARE ROCKETING
Residents across Stirlingshire have been ordered to stay at home - again - as figures show fast-spreading ‘super Covid’ now accounts for 50 percent of new virus cases.
The city was fully locked down for the second time since the start of the pandemic - from midnight on Monday.
Instructions to stay indoors are now enforceable by law and schools are closed until at least February 1.
There were 2,529 positive Covid cases reported yesterday.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said we are in a “race” with the virus to vaccinate as many people as possible.
She said: “This new, more transmissible variant of Covid is becoming increasingly common. Cases are rising much more steeply and rapidly.
“We are asking people and businesses to take this really seriously - as we all did in March, during the first lockdown - because the situation is at least as serious now as it was then.”
